14世纪晚期, ravinous,意为“狂热地掠夺,极度贪婪”,源自古法语 ravinos, ravinous,用于人,意为“贪婪的,暴力的”,用于水,意为“急流”,源自 raviner “抓住,掠夺; 席卷而下,瀑布般流动”,源自 ravine “猛烈的冲击,抢劫”,源自拉丁语 rapina “抢劫行为,掠夺”(参见 rapine)。意为“贪婪的,极度饥饿的”始于15世纪早期(参见 ravening)。相关词汇: Ravenously; ravenousness。
Middle English ravynous, raveynous, from ravyn, raveyn "robbery, rapacity" + -ous -ous — more at ravin Note: Alternatively, and perhaps more likely, ravynous, etc., may be a derivative of an unattested Middle English verb—see the note at raven >entry 3.
The first known use of ravenous was in the 15th century
